Barack Obama
Related: About this forum"That's what I do, I approve of this message"
A new addition to the stump speech.
THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.) I do. (Applause.) Now, unless your cable has been broken for a while, you may be aware there's an election going on. (Laughter.) I was told a story by my campaign manager. He was meeting with some folks, and there was a young couple there with a young son, maybe three or four years old, and the parents were really proud that he knew who I was. And they explained to my campaign manager -- they said, listen, he loves Barack Obama. And they turned to the little boy and they said, what does Barack Obama do? And the little boy says, Barack Obama approves this message. (Laughter.) So you know its election season. That's what I do. I approve this message. (Laughter.) And that's because in the coming weeks, youve got a very big choice to make. This is not a choice between two candidates or two parties. This is a choice between two different paths for America, two fundamentally different visions of our future.

(26,315 posts)Do you remember (as I do) watching WW during GWB's reign of terror and just wishing, hoping, drooling, praying, fantasizing for a Jed Bartlet presidency. (or Jimmy Smits ... )
Well ... did we get it ??

(27,985 posts)and I just started watching it again last week. This time, I'm seeing more of the freshman mistakes they made and it's making me more accepting of all the dunderhead moves the Obama administration did in their first 4 years.
